Horrible boilers. I just yanked an LPG one out in ennikillen.

1200mm, was the terminal under a car port?

 

[zeebeedee]

See I read that as next to any opening In to the dwelling

10. From an opening in a car port (e.g. door or window) into dwelling 1200mm

You saying I should have gone with this?


1. Directly below an opening window, air vent or other ventilation opening 300mm

I went with the first as it was the only one that mentioned door and was not below the terminal

I'm sure this point has been raised before, the confusion comes with the term "door" mentioned only in the section dealing with a car port. But window is also mentioned there as well as in point -1
so the term to focus on is "opening" = door, window, air vent etc

Forward thinking, they may put a car port up. How are you to know,

 

[Blake]

Yeah but what happens when you incorrectly classify an appliance causing undue stress etc and then the customer seeks redress through the courts. scary thought but it's happened and no doubt in this blame and claim society it's always a possibility.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

only 1200mm if under a car port, otherwise its the 300mm

600mm if balanced flue 300 if fanned

 

[zeebeedee]

600mm if balanced flue 300 if fanned

So what's 400 ncs?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

So what's 400 ncs?

it is indeed

 

[zeebeedee]

it is indeed

At what stage does it become ar/id?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

At what stage does it become ar/id?

if theres clear signs of distress or if theres a complaint of POC entering the building
